Unraveling the Drama: Inside FDC Party Chairman Birigwa's Captivity at Party Headquarters

The FDC (Forum for Democratic Change) Party was thrust into turmoil when their Party Chairman, Mr. Birigwa, was held captive for hours within the confines of the party's headquarters. 

Details surrounding the circumstances of Chairman Birigwa's detainment remain elusive, with party officials tight-lipped about the specifics of the incident.
It is claimed that both the national chairman Mr Wasswa Birigwa and party president were held against their will inside their own headquarters in Najjanankumbi, Kampala.
According to sources, Mr Wasswa Birigwa was forcefully prevented from addressing a scheduled media conference before journalists were attacked by a gang of thugs to hide inside the premises.

Later after about five hours stand-off, the national chairman was seen fleeing the premises after a most undignified escape. He fled after scaling the perimeter wall using a ladder. 
The usually composed former diplomat looked rather ruffled and positively upset even as he was whisked away aboard a mini-pick-up truck.

Daily Monitor was able to reach party president, Mr Patrick Oboi Amuriat to find out why his chairman ended up in distress, only for him to reveal that he, too, faced a similar predicament.   “I am also held inside here. I have been warned that if I get out of the office, they will roast me alive,” Mr Amuriat, who was still inside the party offices at 6pm, said.

He was finally able to leave about 30 minutes later, telling this reporter over the phone that things quietened down after the national chairman left, which enabled him to slip away.
 When asked who had held them against their will, the party president first said he did not know, before saying that “one party is fighting the other”.

While still in an interview with Dairy Monitor, Mr Amuriat received a phone call from Mr Birigwa. He asked Daily Monitor to stay on line as he took the call. Mr Birigwa was overhead notifying his president over the phone that he had managed to escape, to which Mr Amuriat responded that he could not get out because the goons were threatening to stone his car.
